Thunderbirds confirmed on their Twitter that they will be flying at 10am and 2pm tomorrow (Friday).
Agreed, it was a great little show at KFRG courtesy of the Growlers! The touch-and-go's surprised me - a nice added bonus. Fingers crossed for great weather tomorrow and over the weekend!
Yeah, the Growlers did a nice lil show for us at FRG this evening. BTW, I got to talk to "Chunk", the Growler pilot who gave me the info about their arrival time,
and he told me the Growlers will departing FRG on Tues. morning around 11AM for those interested in seeing that too. Good hear the T-Birds will be flying
at the beach tomorrow morning right away at 10AM and hopefully they'll be able to fly again at 2PM before the weather gets crappy.
Question are they Growlers or Superhornets and how do you tell looking at the planes.
I was there yesterday they gave a great little show at the airport.
Hello, do you know if the Growlers will be taking off today (Friday) at all and if so what time?
Great performance this morning with the thunderbirds circles.
I couldn't get tickets this year.... This makes 2 years of no show for me, for a show I've attended every single year since inception :(
Is there no B-17 at the AAM this year? I drove by earlier and did not see one.
Unfortunately, the Yankee Lady is not here this year. Last time I checked it was scheduled to be somewhere else. This was somewhat of a disappointing year. I am hoping for better next year. John Klatt retired, Sean Tucker isn't flying right now due to financial issues. I just hope that they can revive things by next year. I too am missing a show last year and this year. Although, I was lucky enough to see the Thunderbirds and the Red Arrows at Atlantic City in 2019.
BTW - I was impressed with the Thunderbirds new show routine for this year.
More sneak passes and afterburners over the crowd had my ears ringing a couple of times today !! Ha!!
The Seaford FD just changed the time for them to leave the firehouse for the airshow standby from 7:30 to 9:45. I thinking a change in start time for the airshow might be announced. Keep your ears open.
Show at the beach was good today, few gaps in the schedule as expected with a reduced lineup but it was cool seeing the T-Birds twice. In total there were 9 high speed flybys! Was kind of disappointed that the A-10 demo used the spare jet instead of the new camo one and didnt perform a Heritage Flight as was supposed to happen, but was still nice seeing an A-10 here after almost 10 years. Also glad the warbirds came out today as I thought they only flew Sat-Sun.
FYI - the A-10 Demo team has their merchandise tent set up on the boardwalk on the south side of the Boardwalk Cafe
for anyone interested in picking up a shirt, hat, coins or patches from them. I also heard the A-10s be departing FRG
to go back home on Tues. morning but they didn't have an exact time yet.
I talked to Thunderbird #7 down at the beach also and he said they have an extended stay on Long Island this week
and won't be departing ISP to go to their next show site in TN until Thursday morning at around 11AM.
Just saw on WABC Eyewitness News that the Jones Beach Air show has been canceled for Saturday.
Bethpage also just sent a notification on the App. Hopefully the weather Will improve tomorrow
Heard it on News 12 - sad that the weather didn't cooperate today. Let's hope for some better news tomorrow.
For anyone interested in seeing a webcast of yesterday's practice show at Jones Beach here's the live Youtube link for LiveAirshowTV.

The Thunderbirds actually worked with former Disney employees and the Blue Angels to come up with their new show routine.

I don’t see the A10s did they leave anticipating tomorrow will be canceled too. I see the golden knights plane but can’t see the A10s
It’s a Wrap for the Jones Beach airshow for 2021. According to Bethpage’s Airshow App. Sunday’s show is canceled due to weather. Hopefully THE AMA at FRG can get some airplanes in the air on Monday.
It's unfortunate that the air show was cancelled again this morning. Looking forward to next year.

Excellent news for those who couldn't make it down there Sat & Sun. Friday was great!
Is it possible to do planespotting to view the f16's at islip? Where are they parked? I know the ramps at heritage, and helicopter training, near hawthorne fbo have parking lots. Maybe in the lot behind the fence? If not then I'll just get to the strip mall off of runway 14 at Farmingdale.
Update: The air show is now open to all, regardless of whether or not you reserved a parking pass already. Just $10 as usual.
Went to the museum today, arrived after the flights for the airshow and they didn't have any flying after unfortunately. The Growlers were cool and the pilot gave a nice walk around of it.
Presuming the Growlers have departed a few minutes ago - It sounded like they stayed low up until they reached the bay and then went vertical because I heard them for a good few minutes after they flew over (very loud).
